We are pleased to announce that Raymond Bellour will be joining us Tuesday, May 17, at 4:30 PM for a special meeting of Mass Culture Workshop in Cobb 425 (please note the non-standard day, time, and location). He hopes for a robust conversation around the locations and materialities of moving-image spectatorship.

He is the Director of Research Emeritus at the CNRS (Le Centre national de la recherche scientifique) in Paris. He is the author of, among others, The Analysis of Film (1979) and Le Corps du cinéma (2009), and the co-founder of the French film journal Trafic.
